Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy contains videos to supplement and reinforce information learned in dissection and anatomy courses.
Videos might be viewed prior to dissection or after-the-fact to review. Acland’s is also popular among nursing and allied health students as a way to prepare and review in anatomy courses.
Acland’s is divided into 5 broad volumes:
- Volume 1: The Upper Extremity
- Volume 2: The Lower Extremity
- Volume 3: The Trunk
- Volume 4: The Head & Neck
- Volume 5: The Internal Organs
Each of these sections is divided into a section of the anatomy which are further divided into videos about a more specific piece of the human anatomy. The organization of videos facilitates browsing and moving between topics.
Each narrated video is approximately 1 to 5 minutes in length and can be viewed in order or by jumping around between sections.
Often, labels will appear during the video to emphasize a point or draw the viewer’s attention to the topic in question. You’ll also notice above each video tools to download a PDF transcript of the narration, to email a link to yourself and to add the video to your favorites.
Emailed links can be sent to up to 5 people and will last 3 days. To create a list of favorites you’ll need to create a personal account within Acland’s which you can do by clicking on My Favorites. Do not click Log Out as this will disconnect you from USD’s subscription.
